Additional seats added ahead of Round 2
KEA announced an increase of 150 medical seats prior to the second round of counselling. The addition has expanded the number of opportunities available to candidates participating in Round 2 and may have influenced preferences and allotments.
What allotted candidates must do next
Those who have been allotted an MBBS or BDS seat in Round 2 must follow KEA's instructions on completing admission formalities. Depending on the allotment and applicable rules, candidates may be required to:
- Pay the prescribed admission fee.
- Obtain the formal admission order from the KEA portal.
- Report to the allotted medical or dental college within the timelines specified by the authority.
KEA's counselling process typically requires candidates to complete these steps to confirm their seats; failure to comply may lead to forfeiture of the allotment. Candidates are advised to periodically check the KEA portal for any further instructions or updates on reporting dates and fee payment windows.
Direct download links and practical information
KEA has provided separate allotment PDFs for MBBS and BDS courses on its portal. Candidates should ensure they access the correct PDF corresponding to the course for which they registered. Keep the following points in mind:
- Verify personal details, allotted college and seat type in the downloaded allotment order.
- Keep original documents and scanned copies ready for admission (as per KEA guidelines).
- Monitor the KEA portal and official communications for any corrigenda or additional seat updates.

Background and context
The Karnataka NEET counselling exercise, conducted by KEA, allocates MBBS and BDS seats to candidates based on their NEET scores, reservation status, and preferences entered during choice-filling. Multiple rounds of counselling give applicants further chances to secure a seat; moves such as the addition of seats before a round can change the dynamics of allocation and increase successful placements.
As the admission process progresses, candidates who do not receive a desirable allotment in this round may have options in subsequent rounds or under stray vacancy rounds, depending on KEA's schedule and seat availability. For now, those allotted in Round 2 should complete the required formalities promptly to secure their seats.
Candidates and parents seeking clarification or official instructions should rely on the KEA counselling portal and notifications published on cetonline.karnataka.gov.in rather than third-party sources.
